Here in SoCal. I have watched these in the past and they usually go for about $1500.00.

If your state is lenient on the registering of vehicles they would be good project trucks,

Or gut em and make them into challenge trucks!

Wierd. I'd rather have a kei truck or van.

It looks like the offsping of a Pontiac Vibe and a Honda Ridgeline. I'm not sure what that would be good for - at $1500 in nice shape I bet a lot of people would be willing to find out. A 4 door with an outdoor trunk for the cost of an ATV is fairly attractive.

That is mighty tempting. Ugly, but that has never stopped me (78 Ranchero, 85 Toyota Rustolla, etc...). How would one go about titling such a thing. MO is pretty easy to license but getting a title might be trouble.

Well, I think your only option is to register it as a kit car (which maybe, might, possibly get you a title). It's already been imported, so I don't think you wind up facing the wrath of the EPA/NHTSA, but I think that a lot of those cars have paperwork tied to them that specifically says they can never be licensed for operation on a public street. I'm gonna poke into this one. For that price, it might be worth buying and rolling the dice - if you don't get it, you've got a hell of a nice UTV.

The Ssanyong designers can safely look at anything and say, "you know, we could make that even uglier."

You know I'm reminded of those TATA trucks I saw all the time on base in Afghanistan. First thing I thought was "Damn I'd hate to get hit in one of those."

The Tata Xenon actually doesn't look half bad. 2.2l Turbo Diesel. Body on frame.

I think what's more concerning is that they advertise a "Analog Clock" as one of the few features, and they don't give any information about its 4x4 system, drive-train, etc.

Is that a real one or a 1:1 diecast model?

Ad says it needs a 2L Mercedes diesel engine. Are these available stateside? I mean, I know you could swap in other stuff, but just to make it easy.

You all know the correct answer is LS swap

If it wouldn't double the cost to ship it here i'd toss a bid on one

In reply to ultraclyde:

Were those available in Jeep Patriots? You know the rest of the truck will be rusted out by now, so the engine should be cheap.

You'll need to log in to post.
